Graffiti
Have you ever written anything on a wall It's nothing new, and for thousands of years humans
have been writing messages on walls, bridges, and buildings as a means of expressing themselves.
Ancient Graffiti
Some of the first graffiti artists were the Vikings. You can read some at a prehistoric site in Scotland. The Vikings broke into the burial site about 800 years ago, hoping to find treasure. Unfortunately, there wasn't any; however, the cave was a good place to shelter from the terrible storm that night, where the Vikings left messages on the walls to pass the time. Interestingly, many of the things they wrote are typical of modern-day graffiti, for example “Benedikt made this cross"
Political Graffiti
At times, graffiti is used to make political statements. During World War II，people in occupied Holland painted orange victory “V" signs on walls in major towns. Here's another example: “No more wars!"
American Graffiti
During the 1970s a new type of graffiti became popular in the States: tagging (标记) Bands of youngsters sipped away into the streets at night with cans of paint and left their tags on as many walls as possible. Some people see this form of graffiti as an example of urban art; others see it as an example of urban decline.
British Graffiti
In Britain, one of the most popular forms of graffiti is known as “toilet graffiti", which is common on the walls of public toilets all over the country. The graffiti often consists of a funny or rude comment. Occasionally it will be a response to another piece of graffiti or at other times it will be a political comment.
21. Why did the Vikings leave messages at the prehistoric site
A. To relieve their boredom. B. To cause a sense of mystery.
C. To display their strength. D. To show their disappointment.
22. As far as the author's concerned, it is believed that
A. the Vikings created the very first graffiti
B. political graffiti resulted in more conflicts
C. there remain some arguments about tagging
D. rude comments are not allowed on walls
23.In which of the following types can you communicate in others' absence
A. Ancient Graffiti. B. Political Graffiti.
C. American Graffiti. D. British Graffiti.
B
In 1868 six-year-old Laura Jernegan, her parents, and her baby brother, Prescott, set sail from New Bedford, Massachusetts. This was no vacation cruise. Laura's father, captain of the whaleship Roman, was hunting the mightiest animal on earth.
Unwilling to be separated from his family for three to four years while he made ocean voyages thousands of miles from home, Captain Jernegan took them with him to share in the adventure—and the danger—of life at sea. In the mid-1800s, as many as one in six American whaling, captains took their families on voyages.
What was it like to live on a whaleship The diary Laura kept while she was at sea offers a look into her unusual childhood. She was fascinated by her father's job. When the ship's lookout spotted a whale, Laura recorded it in her diary. “I hope we shall get him," she wrote.
She watched as the men rushed to their whaleboats and chased the whales. As soon as a whale was caught, the crew began to process it. First the crew “cut in" the whale by removing its thick blanket of blubber (鲸脂).
After throwing pieces of blubber into large pots, two men would “get in the pots and squish (挤) out the blubber," Laura wrote. It must have been a strange sight because the sailors were “way up to their knees" in the greasy fat, she reported.
Now came the hot, smoky, and smelly part. A brick furnace (火炉) was fired up, and the blubber was tried out, or boiled into oil, One huge whale produced enough oil to fill seventy-five barrels, she noted in disbelief. When the Jernegans returned home, the oil would be sold for the best price possible. Whale oil was important during most of the nineteenth century. It was used to light lamps and to make candles.
Two and a half years after she had left New Bedford, deep-water adventure came to an abrupt end. The Jermegans were whaling in the South Pacific when several crew members mutinied (反叛). Fortunately, the mutiny was stopped before anyone got killed. Her parents were terrified. They decided that a whaleship was no place for children. Laura, Prescott, and Mrs. Jernegan headed straight back to the United States on a passenger ship, and Captain Jernegan continued his whaling voyage.
This era, often called the golden age of whaling, was over in the late nineteenth century. Yet one girl's diary has helped to ensure that this chapter in America's seafaring history will not be forgotten.
24. Why did Captain Jermegan take his family out on a whale hunt
A. To experience the pleasant life at sea.
B. To spend a nice vacation with his family.
C. To avoid a long separation from his family.
D. To follow in the footsteps of other captains.
25. What can we learn about processing the hunted whales
A. Laura offered help to the work.
B. It was very hard and dirty work.
C. It started from boiling the blubber.
D. The workers couldn't stand the heat and bad smell.
26. Why did Captain Jernegan send his wife and children home
A. He worried about their safety.
B. Laura had no friends on his ship.
C. There happened to be a passenger ship.
D. They had been away from home too long.
27. What can we infer from Laura's dairy
A. Her father stopped whaling after the mutiny.
B. Hunting whales was challenging but rewarding.
C. She thought deep-water adventures were boring.
D. The 20th century was the golden age of whaling.
C
September is upon us, which means one thing for parents and children alike: term time, Many
will be excited to engage in-person, after months of remote learning. Unfortunately, this won't
apply to everyone. It's alarming that an estimated 54.00 children will continue to stay at home, due to mental or physical health concerns directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病). For those that aren’t able to attend classes in person, maintaining some form of connection with their
peers is vitally important, both to protect their educational development and to prevent them from becoming isolated (孤独).
No Isolation, a company that specializes in understanding and reducing the impact of loneliness
has decided to take action. Throughout the summer, No Isolation worked with independent
researcher, Henry Peck, to better understand the effect of lockdown on educational and emotional
development in school-aged children. They collected responses from some primary and middle
school students and found that about 1,320 children, or more than 75% of the surveyed, were more
or less lonely during the lockdown.
There is no immediate “fix"" for loneliness, but there are steps to be taken to help. Parents need
to open up a dialogue around what loneliness is, and what it feels like, so as to stress that feeling
lonely is completely normal and a topic that is safe to talk about. For adults, loneliness is a shame,
which means that often they are not open enough about it with each other, let alone with their children. Parents need to break the taboo around loneliness by talking and encouraging children to
share their emotions. They also need to learn to ask for help. Sometimes these emotions need to be
talked through with family or with a professional. Now, more than ever, parents should be listening
to children and helping to make sure they are heard when they feel lonely. They are facing the same
pandemic, and they deserve all of the help and support they can get.
28. What may prevent many young people returning to school in the coming new term
A. The interrupted connection with their peers.
B. The continued spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
C. The benefits of remote laming they have ever receive.
D. The physical and mental impact of the pandemic on them.
29. What do the numbers in Pragraph2 imply
A. A bad effect of loneliness. B. The large number of students in the UK.
C.A worrying common phenomenon. D. The convincing accuracy of the survey.
30. How can parents help children understand that loneliness is normal
A. By making sure their children feel safe at home.
B. By receiving education on what loneliness actually is,
C. By talking about the nature of loneliness with their children.
D. By open up a dialogue about their struggles with children.
31.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. Serious consequences of loneliness.
B. Effective ways of dealing with loneliness.
C. Possible ways of breaking the taboo.
D. Great significance of social emotion
D
Older adults often suffer from mild cognitive impairment (MC) (轻度认知功能障碍). It is defined as the stage between cognitive decline that comes naturally with aging and the more serious decline in brain performance—dementia (痴呆), MCI affects many aspects of cognition, such as memory, language, judgment and thinking.
Modern treatment for MCI and dementia involve mostly medications that are yet to be proven effective. But there are natural ways for individuals with MCI to improve their condition. Cognitive training, for instance, can help them develop their remaining cognitive skills. Improving their cardiovascular fitness can also lower their risk of further brain damage caused by blockage of blood vessels.
But in recent study, researchers at RMIT University in Australia found yet another way to boost cognitive function without using modern medications. By evaluating clinical evidence presented by multiple studies, the researchers found that traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) can cause positive changes in the brains of adults with MCI. They reported their findings in an article published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is a sensitive measure used to evaluate changes in cognitive function. MoCA is often used to test the effects of TCM on people with MCI. The researchers selected a total of 19 studies, 16 of which contributed to data analyses. Three studies were placebo-controlled (安慰剂对照), while nine compared a TCM herb with conventional medication. Three studies combined a TCM with a modern drug, and one study combined a known TCM with cognitive training. In two of the placebo-controlled studies, which lasted for 24 weeks, TCM herbs produced favorable results at the end of treatment. Overall, results suggested that certain TCM formulations can improve MoCA scores by 1.76 to 2.34 points.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that TCM herbs, owing to their active components, can improve cognitive function in people with MCI.
32. What's the main reason the elderly suffer from MCI
A. Mental decline. B. Aging. C. Cancer. D. Hearing loss.
33. Which is the natural way to improve MCI in the elderly
A. Cognitive training.
B. TCM with cognitive training.
C. Traditional Chinese medicine.
D. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
34. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4
A. Show the history of TCM.
B. Describe the function of TCM.
C. Prove the effectiveness of TCM.
D. Point out the importance of TCM.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. How to Treat Dementia Effectively
B. TCM Can Improve Memory and Cognition
C. Effective Ways to Treat MCI and Dementia
D. Modern Treatments Can Cure MCI and Dementia

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。注意：选项中有两项为多余选项。
Happiness is the most sought-after emotion. It is the reason for the existence of all beings. Happiness is not confined to the human world alone. ____16____
A young child is happy when it is well fed and becomes sad when it is hungry. Even adults cannot resist the pleasures of food and associate this with happiness. A bar of chocolate, an ice cream treat, or a fancy spread at a buffet all bring happiness. ____17____ Plants that are watered and given enough nutrients will grow happily.
____18____ Toys and gadgets, presents, and red packets bring unexpected joy. Even a pet cat or dog will show its happiness at being given a toy or plaything. A ball of wool or a plastic bone is all it takes.
Then, there is the house and the car, holidays abroad, a simple picnic, or even a movie that evokes happiness. Happiness is found in obtaining material things or indulging in recreational activities. ____19____ Why Well, it all boils down to the individual. Money can buy happiness to a certain extent but when all is achieved, obtained, and bought, there comes a time for the true sense of happiness.
Many have sought it in ashrams and from wise men, but all it takes is an act of kindness and sharing. True happiness is eventually not in the receiving, possessing, and getting but in the giving. Giving time, things, labor to those around us, loved ones or strangers is the true happiness that lives on in our lives. ____20____ It doesn't have to be grand or expensive but has to be sincere and thoughtful. As Mark Twain once said, “The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.” So, go out there and cheer someone up!

B. Making others happy is the core of being happy.
C. Animals and even plants seem to display happiness.
D. People are happiest when they are having a meal and some drink.
E. Everything we do is aimed at letting other people live more happily.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
That December, with Christmas approaching, my mother was out at work when I let myself
into her bedroom one afternoon in search of a safety pin. I took the key hidden under the carpet,
unlocked the door and stepped in. Standing against the wall was a big, black bicycle with balloon
tires. I recognized it instantly. It was the same second-hand bike I'd been admiring in a Baltimore
Street shop window. Somehow my mother must have scraped together enough for a down payment
and meant to surprise me with the bicycle on Christmas morning.
I was deeply moved by the discovery and yet sickened by the knowledge that, bursting into
her room like this, I had robbed her of the pleasure of seeing me astonished and delighted on
Christmas day. I immediately backed out, put the key back in its hiding place, and thought over
what to do.
I decided that between now and Christmas I must do absolutely nothing to reveal the slightest
hint of my terrible knowledge. Nothing must deny her the happiness of seeing me completely
amazed on Christmas day. I even started practicing my surprised face in front of the mirror, testing
exclamations of delight: “Wow!" “A bike with balloon tires! I don't believe it"
The day finally came when Christmas arrived. My mother woke me and my sister early in the
morning. “Go see what Santa Claus brought to you."
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Good morning, everyone! It’s my honor to speak here. Today I’d like to talk something about our National flag.
A national flag represents values, beliefs and culture of a country. Our national flag is no different. Red stands for the blood and lives of revolutionary martyrs, while the yellow color implies our bright future. The biggest star on the left symbolizes the communist party with four little ones closely surrounding it. This five-star pattern indicates the unity of all Chinese people.
National flag is a symbol of our mother country. We should show our respect for it whenever and wherever we are.
That’s all for today, thank you for listening!
第二节 读后续写 （满分25分）
Heartbeat racing, I came out of my bedroom. To my disappointment, only a few small brightly wrapped packages were lying under the Christmas tree. No bicycle. My heart sank as if being splashed by cold water. Slowly I opened my package, only to see a shirt lying inside. What I felt was bitter displeasure. What happened to my bicycle I couldn’t help thinking my mom had found the bike just too expensive and eventually sent it back. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes as I clenched the shirt.
I was about to go into my room disappointedly with the shirt when my mom cried behind me, “Wait! There’s something in my bedroom I forgot all about.” She went to her room, and a moment later came back wheeling the big black bicycle with balloon tires. I didn’t have to pretend the excitement and surprise as the bicycle came into my sight. I threw my arms around my mom and kissed her spontaneously. “Thank you mom! This is the best Christmas gift I’ve ever had!” A brilliant grin bloomed on my mom’s face as she held me tightly. Hiding her pleasure of seeing my surprised face, she said, “All right now, it’s only a bicycle.”
录音原文
(Text 1)
W: To teach those students English, do you have to speak their language quite well
M: No, quite the contrary. They benefit most when the class is organized entirely in the foreign language.
(Text 2)
W: Why don’t you try to leave your office at 6:15, and I’ll try to pick you up at 6:30
M: That may be a little late if we want to be sure and get good seats. I think I’d rather leave here at 6:00.
(Text 3)
M: I’m terribly sorry, but I've broken a plate.
W: That’s all right.
M: I must apologize. I’ll buy you a new one tomorrow.
W: No, please don’t. I couldn’t let you do that.
(Text 4)
M: Excuse me. Can I borrow your bag
W: This bag I have a lot of disks and tapes in it. Can I give you a basket instead
M: Oh, no. I want to use it to carry all these books.
(Text 5)
W: Are you going to join us for lunch, or are you going to eat at your desk again
M: I’m afraid I have to stay at my desk. I am up to my neck in work.
(Text 6)
W: In spite of a high salary and a powerful position within the company, you took the decision to leave and start up on your own. Why was that
M: I’m often asked that question. People think the place I left must have been in trouble. In fact, sales were at a record high that year. I just felt I needed more freedom, the chance to produce things that I knew the market would buy.
W: But wasn’t it stressful You took a big risk
M: Indeed, but my last role was equally demanding. I decided that if I was going to put in such long hours, at least it should benefit me directly.
(Text 7)
M: Mary, you’re looking very healthy and fit these days.
W: I’ve taken up cross-country skiing.
M: Oh, yes. I’ve heard about the benefits of the sport.
W: It provides a total body workout, the kind of exercise that works all the muscle groups. It’s the most effective way to lose weight. The nicest thing about it is that people of all ages can take part.
M: That’s great, but what happens when the snow melts
W: I’ve bought myself an exercise machine with a moveable track that provides the same type of exercise, so I can stay fit regardless of the time of year.
(Text 8)
M: Good morning, Madam. What can I do for you
W: I bought this nine-band radio here half a month ago. Then I posted it to my cousin’s daughter, but a week later, she posted it back saying that it doesn’t work well. Could you help me check out the radio
M: Let me see. Did you check it when you bought it
W: Of course. I remember I could receive short wave programs very well. And you told me it’s of good quality.
M: Let me check it. It seems as if it’s not our fault. The radio seems to have been left in the rain. You should go to the post office and explain everything to them.
W: That sounds reasonable, but I’d like to have my radio repaired here. I think you offer the best service. Am I right
M: Thank you, Madam. You can leave it to me.
W: That’s very kind of you.
(Text 9)
M: How much money have you got left
W: Not a lot. Why
M: Well, I’ve run out and we’ve still got five days left. I don’t know how I’m going to manage it. Everything’s a lot more expensive than I’d expected. Tonight’s dinner, for example.
W: Well, exactly. Why on earth did you choose that restaurant I told you it looked expensive.
M: Oh, come on! It didn’t cost all that much. And how much did you pay for that carpet last week 65 dollars!
W: Yes. But I bought it for my mom. And it was a real bargain.
M: But it was something for yourself. I didn’t blame you, did I
W: Look, let’s not argue about it. The important thing now is to be more careful and make our money last till Sunday. We can’t ask any money from our parents. I think we should take whatever money we’ve got left, put it together and share it. We’ll work out how much we have to spend each day on food and drink. The hotel is already paid for so we don’t have to worry about that.
M: I suppose you’re right.
W: but I’m afraid there is not much that we can spend on some little presents.
